[Q] Touchwiz settings

Ok, I give up. I have Googled for 3 days and read that **** manual cover to cover.
How in the world do you edit the Touchwiz settings? I remember the first day I went to the settings and changed the Show Windows from 5 to 7.
I for the LIFE of me cannot remember how in the WORLD I did that...
So, please, please do not flame me...first Samsung phone and clueless...
Thanks

For some reason, I thought it was under the MENU, then on some i have seen EDIT , but its not there...grrr....

Hi I don't think you can change touchwiz setting short of rooting your phone and editing a few text files. The Epic comes with 7 homescreens and can't be changed from it unless a new launcher is installed. You can however disable the touchwiz launcher if you want the vanilla android look and you can also install an aditional launcher such as launcher pro, which is what I did. Installing a new launcher means you cannot use the touchwiz widgets such as the friend update widget or the taskmanager widget or any of the touchwiz clocks. However the comm manager in the notifications bar is still there as well as the task manager button on long home press.

-To edit order of homescreens or # of homescreens, go home, press menu and then edit

So that option is not available on our phones? Or is this a "modded" Touchwiz...

We have a gimp version of touchwiz until Froyo comes. Many of us use Launcher Pro or ADW because Touchwiz mostly sucks and the widgets do the same.

Why not just download apex launcher? The tabs don't have those points on them.

If I'm not mistaken, those tabs are there because you have something set where it has your system apps then downloaded apps and favourite apps separately. Try going to Nova settings and checking if there's an option like that somewhere and disabling it, that should hopefully get rid of the tabs. The alternative is to get a different launcher because Apex isn't really much different to Nova and as the person above said it doesn't have those.

There is no option to remove those tabs, Only difference in the pro version is there blue instead of grey.
Stick with Apex more customizable then Nova

EDIT
ehh how to install this ?

Use Apex Nova or whichever Launcher has theme support.
With NOVA you would get the same Effect as u see in the screenshot.

works with apex but there is no setting for nova to select a theme :/

In Nova go to Nova settings and then LOOK and Feel Option to find themes.

Thread cleaned... let's get back on-topic here thanks guys.

Thanks and Gratifications

Welcome friend

Hi,
sorry for annoying you but the more I use your theme the more I love it
Only a question. On your description on Google Play you say 1300+ hd icons, but I'm able to see only 40 icons using Nova launcher.
What I'm doing wrong ?
thanks a lot

[Q] Use stock launcher on AOSP Roms

I don't know if it's just me but, the stock launcher is always more smooth and fast than other launcher like new trebuchet, Nova, Apex....
So i have a question : if i put launcher2 apk extracted from stock ROM in the priv-app folder of an AOSP ROM , and apply the right permissions, will it work?

You can just install it like any app.
I grabbed it (Deodexed) and installed it on my N5 which is Unrooted. Worked just fine.
Also you can use Google Now Launcher too.

Question.
HDX 8.9 with 14.3.2.3.2. Rooted w/ Towelroot and have SuperSU installed. The HDXPosed module is installed and activated. Installed GPlay w/ KindleFree (wouldn't work with other methods and I'm sure I followed the instructions down to a T). Installed latest versions of Apex and Nova launcher. With Apex, I can only get the default wallpaper to show up; with Nova, can't use any wallpapers. Attempting to use any Live Wallpaper will lead to the "Live Wallpaper Picker has stopped" error. Attempting to use a wallpaper of my own by navigating to it via ES FIle Explorer leads to my selecting it successfully, but there's no change to the background.
Is this because I accidentally let the device update to 14.3.2.3.2? Seems like almost everyone else was able to change their wallpapers to their heart's content.
Edit: Saw a thread in the Android Dev forums, and one person recommended the "Image 2 Wallpaper" app. It worked beautifully. Still not sure why normal launchers can't change the wallpaper, though.
